1t was in the days of the early railroad,
when it was yet new; the days when the
journey to New York was less of little
jauIt than it is now; when greenbacks
were not popular here. One summer
morning a man, walking in happy and
feverish haste, with wild excitement
beaming all over his face, stepped into
the office of well-known banker.

We respondsto the following request
for information with the satisfaction Of
knowing that our answer will doubtless
be the means of preventing more than
one serious and lamentablc calamity:
"In returning thanks for any favor should
anything besides an exclamation Of Thank
you be employedf'
In answering this question, as in an
swering all Others, the particular times
and circumstances must be considered.
Generally "Thanlc YOU is sufficient. If
a person passes you the butter, it is
proper to say "Thank you" Or if p r
son agrees to grant any simple request
OF yours, it is proper and appropriate to
say "Thank you" But there are other
occasions when this or perhaps any
other verbal expression would be unncc-
essary, if not absolutely inexcusabe.
If, inresponse to passionate and car
nest appeal to young woman that she
should illuminate your dismal loneliness,
cnlighten your bachelor inexpcrcnce, and
assist your solitary hclpiessnes5 by be
slowing her conf ting self upon you, and
placing her future happiness in your
guardianship, Sue should say eyes" and
you should then say 'Thank you" the
chances arc that she would throw the
whole thing up. Such a reply would
knock the bottom out Of an almost un-
lathomablc sentiment. a man who
woad receive a young woman's hand
with the same expression with which he
would acknowledge a butter dish or the
return Of blown-of hat, could not ap-
preciate the real value of woman's
love. The proper response to such a
priceless gift is made with the eyes, the
arms, perchance the lips; but the words
are out of place. -[New York Sun.

The Religions OF India.

Prof. Sir Mon er Williams of Oxford,
declares that Buddhism has entirely died
out in India proper the place of its.
origin, andfs rapidly dying out in other
Asiatic countries. He thinks the de-
voices Of the religion do not number
over 100 900, 900 at the present time,
and that the exaggerated ideas with re-
gard to the population of China, to-
gether with the forgetfulness Of the
millions who worship no one but their
own ancestors, account for the popular
ideas that the Confucianists are so mum
erous. His own opinion is that in point
of numbers Christianity stands at the
head Of all the religions Of the world.
The order following Christianity he be-
lieves to be Hinduism Gncluding Brah-
manism, Jainism, demon and fetish
Worship, Copfucianism, Mohamme-
danism, Bcddhism Taoism, Judaism
and Zoroastrianism.

A HERO OF THE PLAINS.

William Matthewson, Of Fort Sill, In
dian Territory, stands six feet two
inches, with head on him that would
have done for senator when men were
senators; chin square cut; square Shout
dered--you would say & man on the
square as you looked at him, Modest
as the brave ever are, not disposed to
talk until ne is sure of his man. But
when he does talk, the days of Daniel
Boone, says Boston letter to the New
Orleans States, do not seem so far away.
See him as he sits in front of his ranch,
grave as a Roman senator Yonder
galloping across the plains, comes an
Indian. As he comes nearer we see he
has the physique of a giant. Matthew
sons face kindes.
cit is Big Bow" he says.
The Indian rides within forty PAGES
of us, but vcer8 off toward the Quaker
agency. AS he does so he shouts and
points that way, "Simpah zilbah! Come
agent"
There has been trouble; he wants Sin
pah Zilbah-'' the dangerous one with
long hair on his Chin as the Kiowas
have named Matthewson, to help him
get at this Quaker agent who seems to
him a haIf-squaw man.
How has this man made himself a
power with the fercest chief among the
Kiowas? Years ago in the state of New
York was q lad with hot, restless
heart. That heart had not been made
restless by the cheap novel, for the cheap
novel was not yet. His heart was rest
less because it was big heart, full Of
courage and high daring. That heart
had been fired by a book, but it is a
very noble book, the life of one Of our
very bravest Americans John G. Ere
mont. Well, the boy did what my
boy readers had better not do unless
they are absolutely sure they have as
lofty a heart as William Matthewson had
he ran away, and he struck for the
path the great pathfinder had found, the
overland route to California. Out aud
out he went into the heart of what was
called once the great American desert,
but which never was desert, only a
great plain, stretching, as the great Lake
Michigan stretches, a-d which perhaps,
was the bottom OF great lake once.
The ranch where the youth stopped was
also in the heart Of the Indian country.
The Kiowas were there, and fierce, fear
less fellows they were, who could look
you square in the face without finching.
The Comanchcs, too, occasionally swept
up there, short and squatty, inferior
looking save on horseback, and they did
not look-well, square in the eye-they
cast furtive, sidewise glances. The
Kiowas took lovingly to him when they
came in. And while ne was learning
frontier lore from the ranchmen he was
learning as fast as he could the Kiowa
language.
At % he pushed out further alone in
the Kiowa country and established a
ranch. 1t is enough of trading ranch
to give him an excuse to stay among

The Cavalry Band's Concert.

Last evening, at the opera house, the fa-
nous Eighth Cavalry Band gave the second
of the series Of concerts to be given for the
benefit OF the reunion. The Dallas Light
Guard occupied front seats, and fair but
very enthusiastic audience greeted the ex-
cellent performers. The violin Duet and
cornet, violin and flageolet solos were the
best features, though the full band rendi-
lions were excellent. Prof. Klein, the
conductor, is one Of the finest cornetists in
the United States. His masterly.playing OF
"Weber's Last Waltz" was the hit OF the
evening. lie was heartily encored twice,
and responded with "Yankee Doodle" and
the sold Folks at Home. They give an
other concert tonight, and the low price OF
admission (25 cents should ensure full
house.

A REMARKABLE VERDICT.

EVANSVILLE, Ind, Aug. ia
special from Uniontown, Ky, to-day
gives the particulars of the finding OF
the body OF a woman in Tradewater
river, which, if the story rs told is
true, will probably bring to light one
of the most diabolical crimes ever
committed in this section. The par
ticulars as given are as follows:
A few days ago Mr.. Joe Merritt and
his wife were out looking for their
COWS, and in going along Tradewatcr,
near Casey's mines, they discovered
something floating in the river, which
they though was basket of clothing,
Mr.. Merritt pulled the bundle ashore
and found IL was the body of a
woman, Mrs. Josie Woodie, and when
she was taken from therivor the blood
oozed from her mouth, ears and nos
trils. 1t was also discovered that her
neck and one Of her arms were limber
which pointed to foul play. One
other discovery that strengthens the
foul play theory is that basket con-
tanning some clothes belonging to the
husband ofthe drowned woman were
found close to where she was taken
out Of the river. The basket had a
piece Of gingham thrown over it, and
mud was splashed on the gingham to
make it appear as if the hogs had been
roofing around the basket.
Squire Hiram Smith, of Caseyville,
very intelligent justice of the peace,
was called on to hold an inquest, and
Bone Woodie, husband of the de-
ceased, testified that his wife and him
self had falling out and she left his
house. Without making any ex-
animation or trying to find out the
real cause of the death a verdict of
suicide was rendered, and hole was
dug on the bank Of the river, where
the corpse was buried. Several re-
ports of foul play are heard, and in
all probability the county coroner
will have post-mortem examination
made of the remains.
1t seems that Bone Woodie had
only been married few weeks, and
ON July 4, al Dekoven, he made some
threats that he would drive Josie
from his house. 1t is also said that on
the night when the corpse was being
watched, before Squire Smith ar
rived, he remarked that his wife was
in hell. His abuse of the poor I'M
fortunate creature, that he had only a
few weeks before taken solemn OBJ
legation to love and protect, was
shocking.
